	Actors - I Just Can't Stop Loving You

I Just Can't Stop Loving You was a popular duet by singers Michael Jackson and Siedah Garrett. Written and composed by Jackson, it was originally intended to be a duet between Jackson and his women of choice: either Barbra Streisand or Whitney Houston. Even Aretha Franklin was offered the song, but all three refused. However, songwriter and Quincy Jones protege Garrett, who had written Jackson's memorable "Man in the Mirror", volunteered to sing with Jackson thus giving Garrett her first hit since Dennis Edwards' 1984 hit, "Don't Look Any Further". Garrett is quoted in saying in The Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson that she was unaware she would be singing the song - although she had received a tape of it - until the day of the recording session, when Jones told her to step up to the microphone and sing it with Jackson. The song became the first of five #1 Billboard Hot 100 singles for Jackson's "Bad" album. It also reached #1 on the R&B and Adult Contemporary charts, Jackson's second #1 song on the AC chart (his first, coincidentally, had also been a duet: 1982's "The Girl Is Mine" with Paul McCartney).
